Giants tight end Martellus Bennett, who this summer dubbed himself the "Black Unicorn," offered one simple reason to dispute Jerron McMillian's claim that he cried on the helmet-to-helmet hit from the Packers safety Sunday night.

McMillian was fined $21,000 for the fourth-quarter hit on Bennett in the end zone during the Giants' 38-10 win, in which he was determined to have made helmet-to-helmet contact with a defenseless player, a person with knowledge of the fine confirmed. Bennett lingered on the ground after the play and said later that he got the wind knocked out of him. He was given a concussion test and passed but did not return to the game.

McMillian, who was also flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play, told FoxSportsWisconsin.com that Bennett's reaction may have played a role in the fine. "I guess he was crying and whatnot," said McMillian, who has appealed the fine.

"Nothing anyone says bothers me personally," Bennett said. "I make too much money to be bothered by what some chump says."

"I'm not the police," Bennett said today. "You run the red light, the police pull you over. Martellus doesn’t pull you over. I didn’t fine him. He cant get mad at me. I'd be mad, too, if I played the game for free."

Either way, Bennett maintained that he did not cry after the hit.

"The last time I cried was when I asked my wife to marry me," said Bennett, who then told a sweet story about proposing to his wife by the pool of a Houston-area hotel after he bought the ring that same morning.

After receiving the fine, McMillian also said in the report that he thinks the NFL has "a hit out" on the Packers, since a player on their roster has been fined for the third straight week. Bennett made a good point.

"They’ve been saying that since the Seattle game," Bennett said. "I feel like the NFL, they've got a hit out on everybody. They fine everybody in the league."
